I agree 100%. What Dr. Paul’s supporters here on FR don’t seem to understand is that Paul is actually harming the cause of small government conservatism and individualism.

Because his candidacy is so intertwined with being anti-war, isolationist, Alex Jones, neo-Nazis, etc., people are going to automatically connect libertarianism and small-government conservatism with those movements as well.

Look at the two lions of individualism of the 20th century: Reagan and Goldwater. Compare both those men’s foreign policy stances with Paul’s.

No need. You can just compare Paul's foreign policy to Bush's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MpTNdcM_e0

Of course, this person thinks that Paul's views would have been acceptable to Goldwater: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7r27Az_Mns

And maybe even to Reagan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyXW1hb-JQg
